"Huhuhu..."
Ling Ning opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Something seemed to flash across his right eye, but he didn't notice it.
"Xiao Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Ning looked at the person in front of her - Qian Meier. It seemed that he had come out of the source space.
"Xiao Ning? Are you okay? Don't scare me..."
Ling Ning came back to her senses and said, "No...it's okay...Mei'er, don't worry..."
"Are you...are you sure you're okay?"
Ling Ning slowly adjusted her breathing and said slowly: "It's okay, don't worry."
Although Qian Meier saw what he said, she was still worried: "This has been your seven days of practice. You don't know how scary you have been these past few days..."
"Scary?"
"Take a look at your appearance first..."
Qianmei'er transformed into a water mirror, and Ling Ning was shocked. She saw that the clothes of the person in the mirror were soaked in blood. It was as if he had been soaked in blood for three days and three nights, then dried and soaked again... The blood and stench emanated from his body, no wonder she was frightened.
Ling Ning smiled bitterly and said, "I made you worry, but I am indeed fine now."
Qianmeier blinked her eyes and said, "What kind of skills are you practicing? I have never seen anything so torturous."
Ling Ning pondered slightly, and Qian Meier saw this and said hurriedly: "I just asked casually, and you don't have to answer. After all, every monk has his own secret."
"Well...thank you, you've been worried about me these past few days."
"Okay, go take a shower quickly, it stinks like hell!"
Ling Ning washed his whole body by the lake. He could feel that his skin was very different from before. Although he had not tested it, he felt that the strength of his skin now was not inferior to that of Zhou Wu's Little Diamond Body. Intensity, even beyond.
He walked to the boulder in the waterfall. The boulder was two meters high. It was slippery due to being washed away by the lake all the year round, and its texture was extremely hard.
He concentrated his energy and punched out!
"boom!"
There was a huge noise, accompanied by water splashing up to the sky for several feet, and then falling around like raindrops.
His punch did not hit the boulder, there was still a slight distance, but the boulder had already split into five pieces! Even the back of the boulder was shaken deep enough to accommodate a small elephant.
He was certain that even Zhou Wu, who had activated the Little Diamond Body in his heyday, would never be able to withstand his punch. This punch was enough to dismember him!
Ling Ning, however, seemed to be in collapse, kneeling on one knee and letting the lake water hit him like raindrops.
Although the attack just now was very powerful, it also used up nearly half of the true energy in his body. This consumption was too great! Now the meridians in his body are like a wide river bed hundreds of feet long, but the true energy in his body is like a trickle. He must control the flow of his true energy more carefully.
His current cultivation level has reached the late stage of Tuochen. Although it has only improved a little, with the expansion of the meridians and Qi sea in his body, his current strength is ten times that of before! It also means that it is ten times more difficult for him to advance to the first level!
Now he urgently needs to replenish his Qi Sea. Only by filling his Qi Sea with true essence can he reach the next stage of the Divine Transformation Art. But with his current "net worth", wanting to fill up the Qi Sea is simply a "idiot's dream". He has two options. One is to go to the spiritual veins of the major sects and concentrate on absorbing spiritual power to replenish the Qi Sea. The other is to rely on elixirs. If It's a pill at the level of the Fading Stage. I'm afraid you have to take a lot of it.
He can't realize any of them now.
In addition, although there are new additions to the skills, the martial arts can only rely on what Jian Lingzong has learned. You can't kill the enemy with one punch like a big robe, right? Even so, his "small mountain cannon" only has the power of two shots.
"I thought I could fight Ling Dao, but it seems I'm still far away...I still can't deal with his sword..."
He looked at his right eye carefully at the lake. He could feel that there seemed to be something hidden in it, but he couldn't drive it with true energy. He tried to mobilize the immortal essence that was like dark iron sand in the air sea, but these immortal essences were like quicksand, slipping through his fingers. Only the Divine Transformation Art could mobilize these immortal essences, but unfortunately the Divine Transformation Art could not attack...
He vaguely felt that only immortal energy could drive his right eye. He sat cross-legged by the lake and began to work hard to mobilize the immortal energy in his body, even if it was just a trace, and then transferred it to his right eye...
For an instant, he could feel something spreading in his right eye, and then the dark night sky became as bright as day, and he could even clearly see the thin flow of spiritual power in the air.
"Is this... a pupil technique? But what is its use?"
After some experiments, he found that his right eye could detect the flow of spiritual power. Even a little bit of spiritual power could be captured by his right eye, and he could even track it along the residue of spiritual power...
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his right eye. He quickly closed his eyes, and then blood slowly flowed down. The bright red blood seemed to be dyed black by the dark immortal essence.
"The side effects are quite serious... It seems that it can only last for about a quarter of an hour, otherwise there will be side effects..."
…
Returning to the cave, Qian Meier smiled at him and said: "Well, your appearance now is much better than your ghost appearance before! Huh? Has your cultivation reached the late stage of Fading Chen? But your aura is... stronger ...No, is this the aura of the elixir formation stage..."
Ling Ning secretly thought that this girl had such a keen intuition, and he quickly restrained his breath.
"What now?"
Qianmei'er circled around him, nodded and said: "Now it is in line with the Chenchen phase. Your technique is really strange..."
"By the way, Meier, do you want to go to the auction tomorrow?"
Qianmeier's face turned serious, she sighed and said, "This matter has changed again, but I still want to go there."
"What happened?"
"I have been in contact with the sect these days and want to ask the sect to send some disciples to destroy this organization that abducts and traffics girls in one fell swoop, but... alas..."
"Is the sect unwilling to participate?"
Qianmeier nodded, "Yes, this organization is no small matter. It even has the first auction house in the mortal world, Lingbao Pavilion, as its backer... To put it simply, the five major sects have high-level involvement, and even some of our Shui Yue Tian have excellent qualifications. The disciples also bought it from them..."
Ling Ning frowned and said, "So there are a lot of stakes involved here. Since their existence is the tacit approval of the five major sects, it is indeed difficult to move... Maybe we can rescue these people privately?"
"No, this transaction is very secretive. It may be that the five major sects have been dissatisfied with their flamboyant behavior recently, so they have restrained themselves. Do you remember the mysterious man from the auction house? He is responsible for collecting the deposit directly from the buyer. People, this auction adopts a fixed price, they will select some buyers and distribute the list, and then the buyers will hand over the number of the furnace they want to buy, the deposit, and the bid amount to the organizer, who will summarize it to In the auction house, for the same item, the one with the highest bid will get it directly, and the unsuccessful party will get the deposit refunded. Those 'goods' will be delivered to the buyer in person by someone from the organization."
Qian Meier took out the directory and handed it to Ling Ning. He flipped through a few pages and saw that it recorded a series of information such as the woman's portrait, attributes, physique, origin, and base price.
"It's so comprehensive. Where did you get this directory?"
Qian Meier's face turned ugly as she said, "This was given to me by a senior from Shui Yuetian, and she was also one of the invited buyers... In addition, the organization already knew about my killing of the people picked up by the auction house. They have informed Shui Yuetian's senior management, and it seems that Shui Yuetian has also invested in shares..."
"Will the higher-ups punish you?"
"No, for the sake of my grandma, they will never punish me. This matter has been suppressed by the senior management, but those buyers who had their deposits taken away may not let it go. Fortunately, the auction house will not disclose it. I was the one who killed him, but those who know this should be careful of their revenge..."
"You mean Zhong Kun..."
"Yes, I'm afraid their deposit won't be too small..."
"Do you want to pay them back the deposit?"
"That's not necessary. After all, Shui Yuetian is also one of the five major sects. There is no need to be humble when dealing with a small organization."
"Since there won't be a public auction for those poor women that day, do you still want to go?"
"I still want to go. I think many people will still go that day. Look at the last page of the directory..."
Ling Ning turned to the last page and saw that there was only a portrait of a girl on the page without any text introduction.
This girl is about eight or nine years old, with long light brown hair, fair cheeks, and light blue eyes. Although she is very beautiful, she is just too thin, giving people an unhealthy feeling.
"These people don't even spare girls?"
"That's not the point. You can look at it later."
Ling Ning looked at it carefully several times and suddenly discovered that the little ears hidden behind the hair were actually pointed!
"This... what kind of race is this? Is the monster transformed?"
Qian Meier shook her head and said: "It's not a monster, but... an elf!"
"Elves? This is the first time I've seen this race..."
"The elves are not a race in this world. It is said that the world they live in collided with the space of Fairy Dust Continent, and the two worlds finally merged into one. They also appeared in this world by chance. This is a mysterious and mysterious world. A beautiful ethnic group with extraordinary talents. They rarely communicate with monks and rarely appear on the mainland. Rumor has it that their flesh and blood has powerful spiritual power, so they will be targeted by some monks with ulterior motives. When they first descended When we were on the mainland, countless monks formed a coalition to attack their residence, but they all failed in the end, so their existence was recognized by the major sects in the Fairy Dust Continent..."
Ling Ning nodded, "So this time it will attract many monks. Do you want to save her?"
"Of course I do if I can, but...just adapt to circumstances. I doubt this auction will go well. If I remember correctly, the elves have always had some kind of contract with the Xiangzhu Mansion. I don't believe they will let the elves go. The girl was auctioned off."
"Xiangzhu Mansion is also one of the five major sects, but the auction is in Yicheng after all, and it is Shui Yuetian's sphere of influence. They shouldn't mess around, right?"
Qianmeier shook her head.
"By the way, Mei'er, I've always wanted to ask you, why do those guys from the Shangqing Sect call you a fox demon?"
Qianmei'er said matter-of-factly: "Because I am originally from the fox tribe."
"Wha...what?"
Qianmeier smiled charmingly and put on a cute face.
"Meow~"
"Please, that's the cat! That's not what the fox calls like!"
